What to name
your files:

MartNet's Apache Web Servers support
a wide range of file and media types, including all standard Internet
file types. Additional functionality can be accessed using special
file extensions (filename.extension) Any and all of the below
mentioned tools are available for you to use to build your perfect,
dynamic Web Site. Be creative, and remember that you can combine
different technologies, file types, etc. if you want.

To use various embedded scripting
languages available at MartNet, you must name your file(s) with
the appropriate extension. Our Apache Web Server decides which
language engine to use to run any embedded language code.

Note that MartNet supports the
use of the following tools, languages, development environments,
or whatever the tech magazines are calling them these days However,
knowing how to actually program in any language is your responsibility.
If you are new to Web Programming, or want to learn a new language,
be sure to consult the dozens of books, magazines, and web sites
dedicated to your language of choice. MartNet Support CAN NOT
and WILL NOT debug your code or teach you how to program.

Also note that all tools are installed
with default settings for that language. To extend the use of
the language or override system defaults, most languages have
some configuration mechanism. Check the documentation for your
preferred language for more information

Standard file
types:

.html, .htm - Standard HTML text files

.txt - plain, unformatted text files .

gif, .jpg, .png - standard graphics files

NOTE: There are HUNDREDS of other file types available
not listed here. We are only mentioning file types which are considered
"standard" in the Web Site Development world. Also note
that standards change, often. Probably more often than we update
this document. So if you have a question about our support for
some new file type (after you upload it o your site and it doesn't
work as planned) feel free to send e-mail to support@martnet.com
and we'll see what we can do to help...

Streaming
Multimedia files:

.swf - Shockwave Flash (AKA FLASH) files - just end
your flash animations with .swf and they will stream automatically
to any Flash capable browser.

CGI's (ie:
external scripts run independently of the Web Server) CGI's by
nature are very flexible, but are slower and usually harder to
create than if using an embedded scripting language)

.ssi - Server Side Includes AND Apache::ASP code in the same
document, executed together

.eperl, .epl - Eperl (embedded perl package, NOT
to be confused with Embperl or any other embedded perl type system)

.ttml - embedded TCL

.ruby .rtml .rhtml - embedded RUBY

XML - eXtensible
Markup Language

As you are no doubt aware, XML
is an advanced open communications framework designed to allow
multiple servers, operating systems, and programs written in different
languages to communicate easily over the Internet. MartNet does
not support any one XML variant, and thus you cannot name your
files "filename.xml" (if you do you'll just get plain
text on screen - the code won't actually be executed...)

To use XML in your Web Applications,
you can use standard CGI or any of the embedded scripting languages
listed above - they ALL have support for XML built in. It is up
to you to pick the best tool for your particular task. For more
information, consult any of the books, magazines, web sites, newsgroups,
and other sources of information on using the language of your
choosing.

NOTE: many
other file types are available and supported by our Apache Web
Servers.
